Pope on All Saints: “Life shines brightly not because we are rich, beautiful or powerful. Instead, it shines when we discover within ourselves the truth that we are called by God, have a vocation, have a mission, that our lives serve something greater than ourselves.” www.vatican.va/content/leo-...
Leo continues...
"Every single creature has a role to play. The contribution that each person can make is uniquely valuable, and the task of educational communities is to encourage and cherish that contribution... We are called to form people, so that they may shine like stars in their full dignity"

Oregon will not let the president threaten and attack hungry families – and we are going to fight like hell to keep SNAP benefits where they belong.

First snow of the season in Chicago. Last night the first wave came through as "thundersnow." And this morning the second wave started falling; it's now coming down pretty heavily.
Temps will hit nearly 60 this weekend, so the snow won't stick around. But it's great while it lasts.

A noticeable lack of ICE agents, CBP, ERO, BORTAC agents etc… the feds in navy are all DHS police, but all the feds in fatigues are Bureau of Prisons federal officers. Definitely more BoP officers than what we have typically been seeing here

Before the march even took off from the nearby park, word reached folks who had gathered that the US Gestapo had already been randomly shooting pepper balls at people from the roof. This continued once the other group of protesters arrived regardless of the fact that ppl were just standing around.

From earlier today at the ICE facility in Portland, OR:
There was a group of physicians and doctors protesting across the street from the ICE facility as another march arrived- a protest the organizers called “Degenerates Against Fascism” which invited Pets, Furries, kinksters and allies.

Tim Snyder had it: “sadopopulism” (making your voters so miserable they are incapable of anything but rage, while blaming it on your opponents) is effective on a certain perma-broken fraction of America.
Pretty sure Tuesday’s elections told us that fraction was smaller than we thought, though.

It’s not even just the posting addicts; my uncle is a diehard Trump guy and he talks about nothing else. He even stopped watching sports because he’s just on Fox or OANN all the time now.

People need to understand that Chicago is a preview, not a culmination.
I have been actively watching contracts and surge funding over the last few days and what I would say to my friends in Baltimore is “be absolutely ready, right now.”
ICE poised to ramp up raids in Baltimore by Thanksgiving
The Trump administration has rush-ordered infrastructure to conduct raids, abduct residents, and detain people for months.

I shot these from the Hancock in 2017 on a wild, sunny day with intense plumes of lake-effect snow. The sun and partly cloudy sky helped illustrate how transient, isolated, and heavy these snow bands can be. It was surreal to be in a whiteout one minute and bright sun the next.

Fascinating interaction of #wx scales near Lake Michigan tonight.
A Lake Effect Snow #LES band streched N-to-S across the lake, but a potent vortmax dropped in just west, providing large-scale ascent & changing morphology of band into a mesolow, enhancing #snow over #Chicago & Indiana tonight. 🌨️

That's exactly what it is, it's like they took Trump's half-assed post and tossed it into ChatGPT for Government to create an outline. It's preposterous and will be an administrative nightmare, especially because people are supposed to be picking plans for next year *right now*.
Jesus isn’t this a scholar-ed up version of what Trump tweeted out a couple of days ago?

How much lead do you have to ingest to think you can sell voters on your victory of creating new convoluted HSAs to replace (and, likely, be less than) what used to be a couple button clicks on the ACA marketplace website? Nobody asked for this and nobody will like it.

Much like 2024, Democrats seem to think there’s a binary choice in the 2026 election between voting for Republicans (evil) and voting for Democrats (feckless).
They rarely acknowledge the third option which inevitably harms them the most: staying home.

This is what it's like for *everyone* in Canada.
In the US, the three levels of government spend more taxpayer money ($US 7,350/person) to provide healthcare to less than half the population than Canada does ($6,700) to cover everyone in the country. And Canada gets better results.

I’m no longer solely self-employed, and I receive healthcare through my employer, but I’ll never forget how the ACA gave me an option I never thought I’d have. Not just healthcare options, but the freedom of time that allowed me room to do something like heal. That shit takes time.

The ACA made my whole self-employed life possible. For almost ten years, I was able to build a career that actually worked for me AND keep receiving necessary care to address the consequences of childhood medical neglect. And I still deserved better. We all do.
